Today we'll look at the FABRIK algorithm. It's a really nice and easy to understand algorithm, easy to implement and can have a lot of uses
Here I'm showing it in a simple form

Did you know you can use the translation of transforms to drive curves in Maya? It's a clean method that avoids deformers like clusters, and is really easy to set up #rigtip

I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of my #procedural animation to hand-authored animations on some models I bought. This is so I can better study what I need to improve.
When I got my comparison tool running for the first time, this is what I was greeted with! Step-height glitch I think. 😅

Here's a test to come up with a solution to emulate a setup I saw from ShimaAnimation (x.com/ShimaAnimati...). Since the setup mentioned I tried to come up with my own version.
Ended up with something that worked very similar with some basic dot and cross products:
